Unitary and non-unitary operators leverage perfect and imperfect single qutrit teleportation

Abstract: Teleportation, a novel scheme, initially posited by Bennett \textit{et.al}, has been studied here in the context of sending a single qutrit from Alice to Bob using two qutrit entangled channels as resources. In this paper we have considered two special two qutrit entangled states, which belong to $SU(3)$ group, as useful resources for teleportation. For the successful teleportation, these entangled states have been chosen as quantum channels shared between Alice and Bob. Another entangled basis of two qutrit states have been used as auxiliary states, which would help Alice to manipulate with her channel so that the single qutrit she holds can be successfully teleported to Bob. Bob's choices of measurement operators influence the retrieval of Alice's single qutrit.
